Japan dance
group sets CCP show

The Japan Foundation Manila and the Cultural Center of the Philippines will present Japan's all-male contemporary dance group "Condors" in a show called "Conquest of the Galaxy: Jupiter" set June 23, at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo at the CCP.

The presentatioin will be an outrageous and anarchic romp fusing movements, funny film clips and comical stage antics of seemingly young and untrained Japanese dancers, a press release from the Japan Foundation said.

Founded in 1996, all of Condors' members have peculiar body presence and unique character, all dressed in "Gakuran" or a Japanese typical black school uniform on stage.

In March 1999, they performed at the Tokyo Panasonic Globe and since then, they have toured across Japan, the United States and Asia, the press release said.

Its director, Ryohei Kondo, was also introduced as "the most promising choreographer for the 21st century."

Inquiries on the show may be made by calling the Japan Foundation at Tel. Nos. 811-6155 to 58 or visit its website www.jfmo.org.ph, the press release added.*
